Dearest Pieter People,

One of the things we have been working on behind-the-scenes at Pieter, is discussing how digital consent intersects with body-based consent in our spaces. For many of us, our work as body-based artists can take on a life of its own when archived online and our digital selves may even feel somewhat out of our sphere of consent when they become committed to websites, publications, press outlets and photo galleries.

We are working on creating a protocol for partnered artists to feel they have ongoing agency over the work they present in Pieter’s spaces, and have a say in how their images are documented and represented online.

In this spirit, we’d like to take a moment to encourage Pieter community members past and present to peruse our new website and please let us know if any image we have used, or name we have posted is aligned with how you wish to exist online. Any inquiries or requests can be directed to pietercommunications@gmail.com, and we will gladly edit, adjust or delete as needed.

To more communication and consent in all our spaces!

Take care,
Pieter Staff
